Staffordshire County Council: SAP Application Services

Consolidation gives ‘green' light to greater agility

Fujitsu's IT Landscape Transformation Project

As Staffordshire County Council was already using SAP's Human Resources (HR), Finance and Procurement systems it chose to develop the Social Care systems using SAP's Social Care and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications with electronic forms and workflow. However, it needed an experienced IT partner to help it implement its ‘IT Landscape Transformation Project'.

Following a competitive evaluation, the Council chose Fujitsu to deploy a consolidated infrastructure platform, using high performance PRIMERGY BladeFrame technology for the Processing Area Network (PAN) and NetApp for the Storage Area Network (SAN). It was also contracted to remove old and failing systems, deploy the new SAP applications, upgrade Microsoft Exchange, introduce an improved level of Disaster Recovery, and migrate all non-SAP applications over to the new infrastructure.
